I'll be turning the online sales off on Monday, 13 April. The old site will remain in place for a week or so after that, after which the new, non-commercial, site will replace it.

Indeed it did, unceremoniously destroyed soon after closure 😔 disused-stations.org.uk/b/bu…

#OnThisDay 163 years ago the LNWR opened its station in Buxton, alongside the Midland terminus that opened a fortnight beforehand. This is the surviving station in the town, although it lost its roof leaving just this lovely listed fan window. Alan Padley buff.ly/ZMyiUvm

@greateranglia 755417 has just crossed Somerleyton Swing Bridge with the 1554 Norwich - Lowestoft service. A thunderstorm is approaching rapidly, moments later there was a heavy downpour. Repost due to typo. @ChimeWhistle @RPMarks @RHummBooks @Tarka_Man @WherryLines

Approaching Derby from the north on the A6 the handsome chain fence, alongside the increasingly high pavement, is a favourite landmark. The whole length has just been restored and the sun has put on an extra effort to show up the gleaming new paintwork. #ironworkthursday

#OnThisDay 31 years ago 'Motorail' services ceased: they allowed at their peak 100k passengers and their cars per year to travel the UK by train, although the GWR Night Riviera carried cars 1999-2005, providing a brief return of sorts. Dave Hitchborne buff.ly/s2QV0DK

I don’t think Stoke on Trent stn is depressing at all: at its entrance is an incredible moving piece of architecture which few people actually realise exists at all. The stone arch – through which all passengers pass - is a memorial to the 152 North Staffordshire Railway employees who died in the 1914-18 War. The company & employees paid for it, and its installation - honouring those who stood and fell - was one of the final acts of the independent company before it was consumed by the LMS Railway in 1923. Six further men, identified since the end of WW1, have also now had their names added to the roll of honour.

Venezia Santa Lucia railway station.

What a view! Note the road / rail bridge and the large Sta Lucia station at the end of it. See how the road veers right to avoid the station - it looks as though the road bridge is an add-on, does anyone know when it was built?

The state of that lovely building! But here it is, just 2½ years later, looking magnificent. (29/10/23)

Very sorry to hear that Travis & Emery are on the move. They've been such a part of life in Cecil Court for so long.

#OnThisDay 39 years ago Stepney East station became 'Limehouse' in anticipation of the DLR's opening later that year. Beautifully evocative shot of a Class 302 EMU taking the tight curve on a winter's afternoon not long before the name change. Chris Firth buff.ly/4LkkOhF
